so after finally finding the right paint, i was able to "smoke" out my corners and my tailights. i've been waiting to do this for a long time and they came out really nice im still thinking about doing a clear coat on top to get em' to shine. but now i really have the black and green theme goin. Anyone else do the same with the paint?

PICS:

dont know, i never clear coated mine. maybe as long as either the clear coat or the tint is UV protected it should last.

I love the green and black theme on my xj and I used the same thing as you. VHN nightshade or something like that. Your xj looks great!
